Bart went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Bart was activated from the injured list Friday but didn't return to the lineup until the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. The Pirates have a crowded rotation at catcher that also includes Yasmani Grandal and Henry Davis, though Bart has hit well enough this season to also get looks as the team's designated hitter.

Bart isn't in the Pirates' lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader versus Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Bart went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored during a loss in Game 1, and he'll now take a seat to conclude Saturday's festivities. Yasmani Grandal will fill in behind the plate and bat seventh.

Bart was activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Bart returns in the minimum time from a left hamstring strain, so it must have been quite mild. He's had a post-hype breakout this year, slashing .272/.347/.497 with 12 homers in 63 games for the Pirates.

Bart (hamstring) ran on the basepaths before Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart has been on the injured list since Aug. 26 due to a strained left hamstring, and Tuesday appears to be the first time he's done any sort of running since then. He's expected to rejoin the active roster before the end of the season, though it's still unclear how close he is to a return.

The Pirates placed Bart on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left hamstring strain.
EDGE Analysis
Bart suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Reds while attempting to beat out an RBI groundout. The severity of the strain is not known, though general manager Ben Cherington expressed optimism that Bart's injury is "minor" and won't keep him from returning from the IL this season, per Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Pirates recalled Henry Davis from Triple-A Indianapolis to take Bart's roster spot, and Davis should share catching duties with Yasmani Grandal for the duration of Bart's absence.

Bart (hamstring) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart was removed from Sunday's contest against the Reds as a result of a left hamstring injury, and he'll now be forced to miss some extended time. In Bart's absence, Henry Davis is expected to be called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday and he'll likely split time with Yasmani Grandal at catcher.

Bart was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds due to left hamstring discomfort.
EDGE Analysis
Bart collected an RBI with a groundout during the opening frame Sunday, but he tweaked his hamstring while attempting to beat the throw. The 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.
